Picasso Triggerfish was the entire reason I had a saltwater tank. I would really like to get another. Maybe one day.

The fish I always dreamed of having is the Naso Blonde Tang

and my coral of choice is the Hawkin's Blue Echinata

and a flame scallop would be a nice addition to our tank

invert:

black florida fighting conch. there is only one herd of them in the wild. i have seen them before but haven't been able to google a pic for you all. they aren't protected, but they are so rare I haven't had the hear to collect one...

With the exception of the rarest of these, (the black fighting conch), these species are all illegal to take, and not in the hobby etc...so it isnt going to happen for me. If you had framed the fish questions as favorite vertebrate, hands down I want a sea turtle tank. This is actually possible if you collect an injured sea turtle, or a baby sea turtle for educational purposes and acquire the right permit. So many of sea turtles are injured by fishing line and baby sea turtles that get nipped by fish or birds that they are easy to find, but without the right permit you just have to swim by and know they will eventually die. I tried calling once to have one picked up, (there is a local sea turtle rehabilitation center) but no one ever came... I would have just collected it and brought him/her in to the shelter, but I would probably be arrested. Maybe I will do that next time and try to find someone to vouch for me that I was doing the right thing...I don't know...

This is my dude!!! I've had him for about 2 years now. It's about a foot and a half across it's the oldest invert in the tank. If I put my hand in the tank it comes and wraps up my hand looking for food and for the most part that's how he eats. I can't get a good pic of his buddy but he's a albino serpent and it's about a foot across.



Find the crab and it's a big one. It's a blue knuckle hermit.
